The world of simple, time-only watches covers a lot of ground.

There are dive watches, dress watches, field watches, everyday watches, and many others that defy categorization. The Panova from German brand Mühle Glashütte is one such timepiece.

You may be familiar with Mühle for their overbuilt tool watches that are designed and crafted in Germany's center for all things horology, the Saxon town of Glashütte. But the brand builds all sorts of timepieces to its notoriously high standards, including the straightforward and affordable Panova. A play on the Latin ‘panorama,’ meaning ‘view,’ and ‘via,’ meaning ‘way,’ the Panova is a perfect everyday watch that can take on a dressier or less formal aspect depending upon the strap to which it’s paired.

This particular example from the 2020s is housed in a 40mm, brushed stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal and a signed crown, giving it a decidedly tool watch-like aspect. It features a luminous sunburst grey dial with bright orange printed indices, a matching outer minute track, a highly legible matching handset, and an orange seconds hand. Powered by the workhorse automatic Sellita SW-100 movement, it comes paired to a signed brown NATO-style leather strap with a signed stainless steel pin buckle.

Boasting 100m of water resistance, good looks, high legibility, and an unbeatable movement, the Panova is a fabulous choice for the budding watch enthusiast, or for someone in need of an under-the-radar travel watch. And this one happens to come with its factory goodies.
